Thanks so much man

I'm after a bigger coil for my hotspark electrical ignition. it needs a primary resistance of at least 3.0 but i can't find the one I'm after anywhere. Anyone here know the one i need? And its a 79 ke55. Cheers

not losing fluid but and it was bled about 18 months ago, but i'll give it a shot when i get the chance thanks guys

ive noticed that when i push my brakes for the second time in a row, it's missing something, maybe pressure. the mechanic reckons I'm up for a whole new booster. but he's been wrong before. whatdo you guys reckon?

thanks, i'll do exactly that. i might end up back here about it though. thanks guys

yes, i pulled the drums off, but i only checked for obvious leaks, i didnt know about i've never seen any leaks in the engine bay, but i'll give it another check next time it plays up. should i get the booster rebuilt? or pick up a used one? or is it simple enough to tackle myself?

i'll give it a shot at trying to stop fast i think the pedal might not go all the way down when its playing up,or it could be my imagination. I'm not quite sure what you mean about the fluid. best i can say is that there is a brake fluid container for the front and rear brakes. i'll see if the pedal goes down tomorrw. thanks guys

For the past few days my brakes have had a mind of their own about stopping my car. some trips they work like usual, other trips, they barely work and i roll slowly for a while before coming to a stop. I can't see any leaks, the shoes are fine and yesterday i took it out and gave the brakes a good testing and they were all good. but today on the way back from the shops, they stopped working again. usually i can hold my brakes down with the car in drive and rev the car without it moving. but when i have the problem, the tiniest little touch of the accelerator will move the car. any thoughts?

nice plan man. been wanting an upgrade like this since i got my ke55. would love to do something like this in a few years when i've got more experience and money. hope this thread is still around then. haha.

if i had the money, i'd have done that after the first visit. Warning guys, the auto elec in Aspley, is a wanker

I've been to the auto elecc three times. he's had it for abuot 8 hours all up, each time he says he's fixed the charging problem. the charge light has come on a couple times in the last week since he last 'fixed' it. if i take it back it's just going to be a waste of time, but i can't afford to pay to have it fixed somewhere else. is there a way i can get my money back? or should i just take it back to him?

the battery is under 2 years old, and it's a good one. I'm gonna call up some auto elecs now and see if i can get a diagnosis done. bet it's the bloody wiring gremlins

well i finally got around to getting an auto elec a couple weeks ago (bloody dodgy prick he was). had the alternator rebuilt and charge light was still coming on. after he fixed something else he ʞ©$ɟed up and blamed on me he said it was the fan belt. i did that myself though, but the charge light is still coming on about 70% of the time. battery hasnt gotten to the point where it cranks really slow in a while though. so i guess is that the 30% of the time when the light is off, that's charging it enough. Or the wiring to the light is just playing up..... I've had a few battery tests, they all say its good any thoughts?

When the day comes and i get a second rolla, that one will be a manual. but being my first car, I don't want to change the auto. cheers, once I'm in the army and have money to spare i know what i'll be doing :)

the guy that did my head gasket said that it had racing sized pistons put in... i don't know why, he could be wrong. is the "cam grind, Weber carb, extractors, sports exhaust" going to make a big difference? sounds expensive too
